BILL NUMBER:S8177 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to the manner of posting and changing beer prices to wholesalers and retail licensees PURPOSE: This legislation limits the price charged for beer to retail beer licen- sees in relation to the price charged non-contracted beer wholesalers. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Adds section 53-b of the alcoholic beverage control law requiring brew- ers and franchised wholesalers to maintain a price differential from wholesalers to retailers. JUSTIFICATION: New York must maintain its four-tier beer distribution system (brewers, wholesalers, non contracted wholesalers, retailers). Wholesalers are using their exclusive agreements to unfairly undermine the non-contract- ed wholesalers positioning the market.

BILL NUMBER:S8177A TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to the manner of posting and changing beer prices to whole- salers and retail licensees PURPOSE: This legislation limits the price charged for beer to retail beer licensees in relation to the price charged non-contracted beer wholesalers. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Adds section 53-b of the alcoholic beverage control law requiring brewers and franchised wholesalers to maintain a price differential from wholesalers to retailers. JUSTIFICATION: New York must maintain its four-tier beer distribution system (brewers, wholesalers, non contracted wholesalers, retailers). Wholesalers are using their exclusive agreements to unfairly undermine the non-contracted wholesalers positioning the market. This bill would allow non-contracted wholesalers to compete fairly with the large contracted wholesaler and foster lower prices to consumers. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None to the State. EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall become law.
